Overcoming Operating Challenges in Hydrogen Fluid Systems
At this critical time in the emergence of hydrogen as an energy source, it’s as important as ever to show that hydrogen can be handled safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. But that isn’t always easy.
Containing a small-molecule gas under pressure requires specialized knowledge. That is why clean energy professionals are increasingly bringing in hydrogen fluid system specialists to help them achieve first-time, long-term, leak-tight operation of their hydrogen systems.
If you could use help building and operating safer, more efficient, more profitable hydrogen systems, don’t miss this presentation by Chuck Hayes, Principal Applications Engineer for Clean Energy at Swagelok. He will explain how to engage effectively with technical advisors to:
- Identify and estimate costs of existing hydrogen leaks in detailed reports
- Categorize areas of concern by severity
- Create an action plan to address them
- Integrate best practices to avoid other issues
Whether you work for a hydrogen producer or a supporting OEM, please join us on May 18 to be sure you’re well-equipped to operate hydrogen systems that are properly designed, assembled, installed, and maintained.
